Intel Core i5-14400F 20M Cache Up to 4.70 GHz 10 Core 16 Threads Desktop Processor

The Intel BX8071514400F is a 14th Gen Core i5 desktop processor that combines six Performance-cores and four Efficient-cores for a total of 10 cores and 16 threads. Turbo speeds reach 4.70 GHz on the Performance-cores, so demanding titles, creative workloads, and heavy spreadsheets complete quickly while background tasks remain fluid.

Memory support is flexible. You can choose either DDR5 for cutting-edge bandwidth or stick with existing DDR4 modules to keep an upgrade affordable, with capacity stretching to 192 GB. Twenty PCIe lanes run at up to PCIe 5.0 speeds, which lets you pair the chip with next-generation graphics cards and storage drives without bottlenecks.

The processor carries 20 MB of Intel Smart Cache, a 65 W base power rating, and a 148 W maximum turbo power draw, giving you strong single-thread and multi-thread performance without overwhelming most mid-range cooling solutions. Intel includes the Laminar RM1 cooler in the box, making it easy to get a new build running right away.

Because this model lacks integrated graphics, a dedicated GPU is required, a detail that fits naturally in gaming PCs and creator workstations where a discrete card is expected. Builders using the LGA 1700 socket can drop the chip into many current 600- and 700-series motherboards with a BIOS update, keeping upgrade paths straightforward.

Whether you are assembling a budget-conscious gaming rig, a student workstation that can tackle coding projects, or an office system that needs headroom for simultaneous applications, the Core i5-14400F offers balanced performance and upgrade flexibility at a competitive price.
